SANFORD — A Seminole County jail inmate has been charged with setting a fire in his cell Sunday night.

The 10:05 p.m. fire was started with toilet paper, newspapers and styrofoam cups, officials said. Kenneth McGill was alone in his cell at the time of the fire, which did not cause any injuries or major damage.

McGill has been in jail since a Nov. 13, 1985, arrest for burglary. He was scheduled to stand trial this month.
